This is really gross but here goes...
Can babies get worms?? I noticed today when cleaning off Brennas nappy some dark brown 'things' that looked like bits of cotton thread about 4 - 5mm long in her poos. Are these worms? or just the remains of something she's eaten? Thanks!  -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Worms are usually white. I was told to check their bum out at night with a torch as that is when they come out. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I think worms are white too what has she eaten the last couple of days I think it's more likely to be something she's eaten. I also heard about checking their bums at night too. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

I worry about Maya getting worms, but the tablets we get for her say not for babies under 1 so I don't know what you do if babies have them?
But Gandt is right, you wouldn't see them in her nap, you'd have to do what Becks suggests and shine a flashlight on her bottom while she's sleeping at night. With Maya I worm her if she starts complaining that her "bottom is wiggly" (itchy). ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Ashleigh poo's look a bit like that if she has had alot of banana ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
